What is your first move? You could add a team, remove a team, trade anyone, remove a rule, you just can not mess with history. You can do just about anything!

A)Reduce schedule to 140 games B) Eliminate ''All Star weekend'' (It is all about the $$$$) C) DH goes bye bye D) Back to two divisions in each league, not three. No wildcard BS E) Pete Rose. WELCOME HOME!

Reduce the schedule from 162 games to 120 because by the end of the season players r exhausted. l would also add the DH rule to the National League, because of the risk of pitchers getting injured on the baseline. And l would also add in a new rule that fines players for not playing to the best of their abilities. Ex: l would fine Carlos Beltran, Luis Castillo, Jose Reyes, & David Wright because they're lazy as hell on the field & do not give a crap if they screw up. So why should they be paid all that money?

Take away that stupid rule of the ASG determining home field advantage for the WS. l mean, what sort of move was THAT? I'd just have them go back to alternating home field advantage every year like they did before Bud Selig.
Plus, l would not turn a blind eye to steroid use. l know he is been paying more attention lately, but he should have been cracking down on 'roid use a decade ago.

For fun- Have a sniper in every Stadium,anytime someone behind home plate waves at the camera talking on a cellphone they get taken out no questions asked.

add a team. i'd add one North Carolina and call them the North Carolina Smoky Mountains. add them to the NL East, then I'd move the Marlins to some western place, like Las Vegas, rename them the Las Vegas Casinos, move them to the AL West, making 5 teams in the NL East division and now 5 teams in the AL West! then id get rid of the DH

l would put the salary cap on baseball. l would keep the DH in just the AL too, l like that difference that separates the 2. l would enter challenges, l would let the managers throw the red flag (once per game).

Move a team to New Orleans LA(either yankees, mets, angels, or dodgers since each as 2 in one city) Require that each team must have at least a 100 mil dollar salary cap so each team has a chance at good players or they have to sell the team. Get rid of the DH! Require allstars the previous year to have at least 8 mil dollars a year & starters to have at least 10 mil a year. No more one year deals & no deal can be longer than 8 years. Limit the salary to 22 a year. Get rid of the winner of the ASG gets home field advantage. Put the Astros or a team from the NL Central in the the AL West so there is 15 teams in each league & 5 in each division. Put 6 teams in the playoffs for each league top 2 in each division & division teams cant play against each other in the first round & the top 2 teams(must be from diff divisions) get a bye. The home field adv is determined on WS team better record.
l really wish l was the commish of the MLB lol

Performance based contracts. Everybody has a base salary, but you get paid for your stats.

l would lower ticket prices.
It would be nice to lower players' salaries, but a salary cap goes against the American capitalism system and the free market.

Add another round to the playoffs making it for 8 teams from each league to go to the post season. The first round would be a best of 5 and the rest best of 7.

1.Yankees/Red Sox games start at 6:00 p.m.Eastern time just so they end before midnight. Some of us have to go to work in the morning.
2. Relocate the Marlins to a city/town that would actually provide some attendance
3. Ban the Braves 'war chant'.

get rid of the red sox and royals b/c who cares about the royals. l would make teams lower the players salary b/c there is too much money wasted being paid to the players and l would make the yankees a master team! Also l would make the prices of things at all the games cheaper. Who is going to pay 7 bucks for a hot dog? Also have people a limit to the amount of beers they drink so that they do not get drunk at the game and then drive home!

l like to say thanks to Jesus and God, without them, l would be still be in school. l would add the New Mexico Cactans, Let Hank Aaron be the HR King. Ban players who test positive in steriods or HGH. Reduce Romero is fine too 25 games, and give money to the teams who need a new stadium, and add TNT to baseball.

Shorten season & make Playoffs longer. Top 2 teams of each division go to Playoffs. Play a short 22 game mini season wich u play each team twice, Home & Away. 2 Lowest records of mini-season go home. leaving 4 teams in each league which best record of each league have home-field advantage & play the following based on mini season, 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd winners play winners while loosing teams play losers from same round.
2008 example
AL east Tampa Boston
AL Central Chicago sox Twins
AL West LA Texas
NL East Phillies Mets
NL Central Cubs Brewers
NL west Dodgers Arizona
After mini-season standings are
1) Cubs 2) Rays 3) Boston 4) Phillies 5) Mets 6) Dodgers 7) Angels 8) White Sox 9) Twins 10) Brewers 11) D-backs 12) Rangers
AL Rangers, Twins go Home NL D-backs Brewers go home
Leaves
AL 1) Rays 2) Boston 3) Angels 4) White Sox
NL 1) Cubs 2) Phillies 3) Mets 4) Dodgers
Rays play white sox with Home-Field Advantage (HFA) Boston plays Angels with HFA
Cubs Play dodgers with HFA Mets play phillies with HFA

1. Territorial rights r abolished, Day One, 8:01 am. Damned leftover relic from the 20th century -- the EARLY 20th century. Well past time to dump that noise & move on.
2. Issue decision on Rose is application for reinstatement. That decision is ''No''.
----- (By damn, what a bunch of petty, parochial, small-minded vendetta-driven choices, almost none of which actually fall within the commissioner is purview. Seligula is no prize, but everyone here would be markedly worse.)

The Yankees are out and Manny Ramirez has to wear a dress to all the games so l can make fun of him.

Well, as a fan of the game, I'd put in both a salary cap, a ticket cap & a concession cap so teams have an equal ground on which to compete & the average family can go to the game.
my second move (or first one if l can not do that one) is to institute a policy where anyone caught using PED is loses their right to negotiate contracts greater than one year in length & greater than league minimum (no bonuses) for life.
One mistake & it is league minimum forever.

1. Make Bud Selig accountable for his fraudulent behavior concerning Barry Bonds & the steroid issue. Letting him play in order to hit more home runs than Aaron, knowing full well that Bonds had tested positive to steroid use, not once but TWICE. Allowing all of those Giant fans to spend their hard earned money to watch a bogus record in the making. Not to mention cleaning up the mess he has made of the game.
2. l would get rid of the DH & inner league play.
3. Elect a Hall of Fame committee & not the baseball writers association to determine what former players r worthy of the hall.
4. Relocate the Tampa Bay Rays to either Orlando or Tampa. The presently play in St. Pete. Tropicana Field is a disgrace.
5. In some way put a restriction on ticket prices so they can be affordable to that average working person. Make the owner honor it in the best interest of the game.
6. Keep the steroid users, gamblers & cheaters out of the game & out of the Hall of Fame.
7. The All-Star game should not determine home field for the world series. The team with the best regular season record gets home field.
l am sure given time l can think of a few other measures to clean up & improve the game.

1. Remove the ban on Rose. If Clemens isnt banned Rose shouldnt be. Rose never beat on a game he played in or threw a game.
2. Remove the Steinbrenner family from baseball.
3. Put a sal cap on baseball & add that performance base contracts.
4. New Rule any player found guilty of cheating must return his salary for current year & prior year. Agent who represented him be put on probation & not allowed to do business with any MLB team for 2 years. This will hold them accountable. Also if the player is found guilty his contract is voided & after suspension he would go back to making the sal of a 10th round draft pick. This is known as the now u make jack POOP.

Hey Wings won 3-0 yesterday :) They play the Stars tomorrow.
Um l can remove a rule? Wow thats power. I'd make it you can show a streaker when they streak across the TV (last year someone streaked across Comerica and that could not film it, just the reactions of the players, l wanted to see the person get tackled so bad by a security guard so bad)
Holy moly I've never seen these many thumbs down in my life..

My first rule, if you take steroids, or if you were in the Mitchell Report, you get a Lifetime ban.
My Second rule, l will banish the DH rule
My Third rule, get the Tampa Rays a New Stadium, privatly funded my the MLB
And for my last reign of terror, Find Bug Sleig and give him a big 'ol slap in the face

Funny thing about most of these is the commissioner can not do anything about most of them. Salary cap, no DH, shorten the season, change playoff game series length - out of his hands, Ca not add a team, sure can not remove one.
The one thing l would do is force every team to open its books for scrutiny by an independent accounting firm. At least this way we'd know how truthful these guys are when they are screaming poverty.
